I've noticed on some rackmount servers and firewall appliances there are ports labelled console, and look like serial ports. Are these related to connecting to KVM? I am looking for a cheap appliance for some rackmount servers I have (1U half depth would be ideal), to remotely recover the server if it goes down. I figured they'd connect through PS2 connectors, but then I thought that if the console port was related, then going through that might have the option for power cycling or something.

I'm trying to knock a bug out of our new Hardy Heron Xen template. Basically when the old ones boot up /bin/sh is spawned on the console. Now with Hardy init has been replace with /etc/event.d handling.

So I've replace /etc/event.d/ttyS0 and ttyS1 (not sure which one is the console but I think ttyS0)

Code:# tty0 - shell

# This service maintains a getty on tty1 from the point the system is# started until it is shut down again.

I am upgrading my current colo'd server from a 1U dual core xeon with 2x500GB drives to a 2U core 2 quad with 8x750GB drives (raid5).So far I have ran into two issues. One is the rails are too large for the cabinets (problem #1 which I put in another thread). The only other problem is I am having problems with remote console on the new hardware.

It should be setup correctly since I basically rsync'd everything from the old server to the new one. The device is detected:

But when I connect to the digi I am not getting any console output. I have tried a different serial -> Ethernet adapter and tried a different patch cable/port on the digi so I am pretty sure those are fine. The motherboard (nforce 650i chipset) didn't have an onboard serial port so I am using a port hooked up to a bracket which has a ribbon cable which connects to the motherboards COM port. I also tested another serial connector which the case has built in and both give me problems.

I'm noticed I was getting bounced email errors from a company I was sending email through and I further investigated this by running a dnsreport on my domain.

Turns out that it fails at Acceptance of NULL <> sender, Acceptance of postmaster address, and Acceptance of abuse address. The domain that I ran a test on is using a new IP that I had recently added to my Direct Admin server. None of the other domains on my server are having issues like this.

Is is possible that I need to do something to enable these new IP addresses in exim? I mean, exim obviously responds to that IP address, but it seems to be having some issues with it.

But I tried using a straight/null/rollover(cisco's) and none of them worked. I also tried 9800-8-1-xoff/xon. All of them are giving me weird text when I press [ENTER] numerous times. I can access my 2900 series switches fine, no problem, just these 2626 ones I cant. My laptop can definitely detect the port cause when I disable it, I get a message on my terminal window which says "disconnected". So I am messing up somewhere.

By the way, I actually returned the switch when it came the first time because I thought they gave me a faulty one and I got another one, but it behaves the same way. But the actual switch functionality has no issues as I can assign my servers IPs and be able to access them remotely. I just cant configure the switch itself without the console port.

I was able to login from IPMI View just fine, and everything works as expected except "Text Console ". I was able to hit the start button and get the black screen on IPMI View, but that was just about it.

Only a cursor blinking without texts.

Is there something else that I should do in order to get text console working? I've tried all baud rates.

We have a windows 2003 machine that is currently responding properly to all services that it's running (including IIS and FTP), however RDP connections just close right away and the server isn't responding when a local keyboard & monitor is plugged in.

The last thing that I want to do is pull the power out while it's on - any ideas?

I tried a remote shutdown, but the response is:C:Users>shutdown /r /m HOSTNAMEHOSTNAME: The entered computer name is not valid or remote shutdown is not supported on the target computer. Check the name and then try again or contact your system administrator.(53)

Since some days I have the strange issue that all logings from DrWeb is shown directly into the console. For example if I connect to my Server via SSH and then I sned an email to my email accoutn I see the logging of the spool.

this happens in my root shell. if I disable the Email check then this will not happen anymore. another strange issue is that if I restart drweb and I have more than 1 ssh shell open I see the output of the restart on all shells, this issue is only for drweb not for any other service. How to config drweb to log only into logfile not to the console?

I search the web and the only thing I can find was

[URL]

In the FreeBSD operating system, syslog service can intercept information output by Dr.Web Daemon to the console. In this case, the information is logged character-by-character. That occurs when the logging level is set to *.info in the syslog configuration file (syslog.conf).

i have setup fresh Centos 6.5 with Plesk Pannel 12.0.18. When i execute the attached command from the console, i get it work, some posts are auto created within wordpress. When i enter the attached command within Plesk (Tools / Settings - Taskmanager - root New Task, the command is not executed...

Check /dev/shm is mounted noexec,nosuid/dev/shm is not mounted with the noexec,nosuid options (currently: none). You should modify the mountpoint in /etc/fstab for /dev/shm with those options and remountOn this one I actually went and added the noexec,no suid options. Here is what i've got configured and what it looks like. (it's most likely not correct so help correct it.)[url]

Check /etc/named.conf for DNS recursion restrictions

You have a local DNS server running but do not have any recursion restrictions set in /etc/named.conf. If the named process is using this configuration file, then this is a security and performance risk and you should look at restricting recursive lookups to the local IP addresses only

Check dovecot weak SSL/TLS Ciphers (ssl_cipher_list)Cipher list []. Due to weaknesses in the SSLv2 cipher you should disable SSLv2 in WHM > MailSever Configuration > SSL Cipher List > Remove +SSLv2 or Add -SSLv2Alright so this one I followed the instructions, and i've got everything set correctly but it still shows up on the thing. I don't think the ssl_cipher_list is even available in WHM

I don't know much of anything about server settings or errors, so I need your help. Recently one of my servers have been getting a lot of 500 error messages, and I can't pinpoint the reason or replicate the error on my end. I did some Google searching and although I found out in general what a 500 error is, I still am not clear on what exactly causes them or how to reduce them. Could it be caused by intense amounts of traffic? Is the server just being overloaded?

Also, I see that my server is throwing a lot of 404 errors for a variety of URLs on my site, however when I visit the URLs specified by the error log they work fine for me - seems like only sometimes for whatever reason the server can't find/access them and throws a 404. Again, I can't replicate it and have no clue how to fix it since the list of 404 URLs work fine when I type them in.

I have a VPS account with an hosting site. For the past 2 days i have done a lot of uploads. I have 25+ sites on this account. Today when i try to login into my sites via ftp, its showing ftp login failed for all sites.

The hosting company is still sleeping on my queries regarding this matter.

Interestingly logins for WHM & cpanel for all sites are working fine.

Any experienced members plz guide me on how to get the ftp working to upload files to my sites.

When i go to dnsreport.com , i get Fail in Missing (stealth) nameservers

Quote:

FAIL: You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The following nameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (therefore, they may or may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers return them in the authority section for other requests, per RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these stealth nameservers are working; if they are not responding, you may have serious problems! The DNS Report will not query these servers, so you need to be very careful that they are working properly.

ns1.mysite.ws.ns2.mysite.ws.This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).

I had made a page on my site earlier and when i went to it it gave me a 403 error so i tried fixing the .htacess then the site got messed up so i reset the .htacess to tis original settigns and now when i redirect to anything but the home directory it gives me a 403 error can anyone help?
